Original subtitles

I hide the recessiveness I'm made to sneer at

It's why it's significant that I'm standing here

The reason why I search now, not backing down from established fact,

remains the same—the light that stirs my cells

There's a ringing in my ears so loud it's wasting me

Have to open my eyes slowly

Wills that cling to something so hard

they can't decide what to forfeit

Even if the world holds no answers

This breaking voice of mine

All right, make way, make way! Police!

Chad-san...

How about it?

All three are Twilights.

According to witness testimony,

It was a mob attack that was carried out by a group of Normals.

Anti-Twilights.

I don't think there's any doubt of that.

Then it's started.

Ouch!

Are you okay?

Yeah. Say, Ale-chan,

I'd like you to come with us to an evening party one of our customers is throwing.

I've already got the dress bought.

Evening party?

You don't mean the one at the Cristiano's?

Yep.

Aren't you the popular one, Mr. Handyman?

Listen, you've done plenty. Come over here and let's have tea.

Huh? But...

Okay, just for a bit.

This being the kind of shop it is,

there's no shortage of those who are on bad terms with each other bumping heads.

I always tell them to take their arguments elsewhere, but...

Here you go.

Thank you.

Alex, is it?

Oh, yes.

I'm Constance. I run the store.

Call me Connie, Al.

Nice to meet—

A-Amazing. They feel so real.

They are real.

Huh? How much am I charging for tonight's party?

Just this much.

What can I say? The Cristiano Family is a poor outfit.

Though you know, it looks like clear skies tonight.

He came to me not as the guy's friend,

but to retaliate on behalf of his contract holder.

I'll bet you've...

had it stuck to you by Monroe-san again.

I wish you'd settle down already,

Mr. Contract Holder.

Listen, you! Who do you—

It's for my sake.

That's why you play it off as nothing, right?

In that case don't take it out on him, or on her.

Hey there, no slacking off!

I'm the one who's paying for this, so get to work!

Granny Joel!

Oh?

Grammy!

C-Connie, she's your grandmother?

Yeah. You know her?

You're still with the Handymen, are you?

I warned you about staying with them for too long.

Ah! Al, you're the off-limits-zone prostitute Grammy mentioned?

Well then, you've quit the business, right?

Hmph, she's bound to go back to it right away.

I've seen tons of folk do just that.

That's what Grammy says and all,

but she always worries about you taking on the wrong customer—

Mind your own business.

Ow! You're stretching out my ear!

Oh, that's awful. How can you joke about that?

So anyway Al, how long are you planning on working with the Handymen?

You're going back to your family, right?

My... family...?

Oh, sorry. Should I not have asked?

It's okay.

I have one younger brother...

At least I think I do... Yeah, over in East Gate.

But...

I don't know how he's doing now.

Constance,

paint.

Oh, wasn't that enough? Hold on, I'll get you some.

How...

could I have forgotten about him up 'til now?

Someone as important as him?

I'm... still...

No, it's not that. I'm sure. My stabilizer has just worn off.

That much, at least, is okay...

Nico—

—las...

Here. This is for today.

Thank you.

Make sure you call us when this place gets smashed up again.

Just a moment, Handyman.

I made too much navarin lamb stew.

Eat some before you go.

Ah! Grammy's navarin!

Come on, let's go! It's navarin!

Sorry for taking my eyes off you.

I don't have a mother.

Whenever my brother cried, it was me who would comfort him in her place.

He should be so dear to me... but I can barely remember him.

Not his face, nor his voice...

Everything before Barry took me in is all a haze.

Memories lost to TBs will gradually come back to you.

That's what Theo-sensei says. No doubt about it.

If, once you get them back, you want to go home, you can do so.

This ain't any kind of town for folks like you to live in, Ale-chan.

You should leave as soon as you can.

But until then, well...

feel free to use our sofa as a bed.

Al! Worick-san! We're going to eat it all!

Oops, let's go eat!

Al!

Al, hurry on in!

So this...

is Ergastulum...

So...

Yes?

The evening party's venue is...

Bastard here is a nice, environmentally-friendly joint,

where, unlike Big Mama's outfit, Twilights are free to come and go.

Yo, Mr. Handyman! Welcome to Bastard!

You're late! You have some nerve to keep me waiting!

Sorry, sorry, Cristiano-san. I spent too long picking these out.

Here.

You're forgiven.

Is she the boss's child?

You must be the new girl, Alex Benedetto.

Ale-chan, this is Loretta Crisitano Amodio,

the Cristiano Family Boss.

Boss? A little girl like this?

Oh, yeah? Excuse me for being...

E-Excuse me for being small! I still have the lives of all the Twilights in my hands!

Lives?

Allow me to explain more about that.

Among the Four Fathers that run this city,

the Paulklee Guild dispatches mercenary Twilights...

the Corsica Family handles weapon deals and vice...

the Monroe Family facilitates assistance and business

for Twilights not affiliated with the Guild...

while we, the Cristiano Family,

deal with supply routes for Celebrer, which is essential for sustaining the lives of Twilights.

A tag?

Pardon the late introduction, but my name is Marco Adriano.

Galahad Woehor! I'm the manager here.

Oh! What a view we have here!

Gal, you perv! You sicko!

That's most unladylike, miss!

I'm sorry!

Gal-nii...

Huh?

That'll be 100 for staring.

Ouch!

Seven in the front, five in the back.

What about to the north?

Even more, huh?

Hmm, that's more than usual.

Then again, those anti-Twilight people never learn.

The Cristiano lot are having financial difficulties too,

but they keep up that hypocritical, unprofitable enterprise of theirs.

Still, we're getting a hot meal for helping them out.

Oh, here we go.

Hey, partner! Don't go killing any Normals, now.

We were hired to lure the Twilights as far as the club...

Ah, geez! Would you wait until I'm finished talking?

I wonder where Worick and Nicolas went.

Why couldn't I have stayed home if they're here for work?

The weather sure is nice.

It seems like it's been a while.

I don't think I've had a moment like this in some time.

I know this song.

Miss...

are you sure about throwing a party at a time like this?

It's because times are like this that I'm throwing it!

You think we should just sit back and watch the anti-Twilights

kill others just because they're Twilights?

But the situation isn't the same as before.

We can't have the danger extending to you as well.

Oww!

I will fulfill my responsibilities at any and all times.

To that end, you guys just have to deal with anyone who gets in the way!

Got it?

I'm stunned. She's taking more and more after her father lately.

Come with me quickly, Marco! This is where things get busy!

Right!

Was that a gunshot?

Somebody! Cristiano-sa—

Take a peek at the building facing us.

The authorities always keep a sharp eye on this place.

Because they handle Celebrer,

the Cristiano Family can't openly protect the Twilights.

I hate to say it, but not even the Handymen can help us.

We need you to feign ignorance, as well.

I couldn't!

Ultimately, this is nothing more than

a voluntary Twilight evacuation, having nothing to do with the Family.

I'm sure you're just afraid because you don't know...

about Twilights.

I'm glad you came.

Th-Thank you very much.

Now then, Benedetto-san. You're one of the Handymen, too.

We have a job for you to do.

H-Huh?

Ladies and gentlemen of tonight's party,

allow me to introduce our newest singing sensation!

Her name is Alex Benedetto.

She's from that musical town of East Gate!

If you would be so kind!

You're a big help. Our last singer quit and really left us hanging.

W-Wait! I can't sing in front of others!

Oh? I thought that's why you were here.

Worick told us that your voice was too good to waste

on simply humming to yourself to pass the time.

He heard me?

Huh? Why did I bring Ale-chan to the club?

Good question.

This is one thing I don't think I can accurately explain to you, Nic-sensei,

but I really like Ale-chan's singing.

Okay, let's finish this up quick or we'll miss the end of her song.

sora wo miagette goran

Look up into the skies

mosugu yoru mo owaru

The night is almost at end

hoshi to tsuki to taiyou mo

The stars and the moon and the sun

shizuka ni kiwo shitteru

each silently drawing their breath

saa hajimeyou

Now, let's get started

kanashimi wo sutte

Leave your sorrows behind

yorokobi no hana saite iru

Flowers of joy are blooming

ano basho kara

from you know where

nagareru kumo no ho e hikari ga

The light starts to illuminate the sky

terashi dasu ho nii

toward where the clouds drift

nee darling mo nani mo kowai kunai

Hey, darling, I'm not afraid of anything now

anata ga iru kara

because you are here with me

namida wo fuite goran

Wipe away your tears

atarashi asa no uta

It's the song of a new morn

mabushi hodo ni hikaru

A blindingly brightly by shining

shizukana imo melody

quiet melody of love

tamera wa zu ni

Without any hesitation

sono te wo nobashite

you reach out your hand

eien no shinite kibou wo gata tadayou

Hope hovers over an eternal isle

ano basho eeto

toward you know where

The light starts to illuminate the future

terashi dasu no mirai

over dried tear stains

nee darling mo nani mo kowai kunai

Hey, Darling, I'm not afraid of anything now

anata to iru kara

Because I am here with you

Erica,

those guys really are useless.

Come on, Erica, I'm bored. Let's go, already.

In a forgotten town settled over with ash,

I was searching for what I had last

Though you prayed with reddened eyes and hushed voice,

I was plugging my ears

Rather than reach out, let's hide instead

We'll point at the fractured skies

and laugh with childlike eyes

I'll sleep here, bathed in the light that peeks

through the gaps of the night

together with you
